MSXML uses wininet when loads a xml file from a \\share

Question

We know we should not use MSXML from Classic ASP to load remote xml files, because the WinInet is not designed for server use.

Do you know if loading a xml file from \\server\sharefolder also loads wininet?

Should we use ServerXmlHTTP instead?

Thx

I can't guarantee that it doesn't, but I would be shocked if it did. WinINET, as its name implies, is used for connections using internet protocols, while \\server\sharefolder implies a SMB connection.
